DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
About our shower tray repair in Little Bardfield
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched. Common call-outs are for a dull, stained or worn surface and chips on the edges, on acrylic, cast iron and stone resin.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
What affects the price in Little Bardfield
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Little Bardfield. What changes the price is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
When to call us in Little Bardfield
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A cracked shower tray
- Chips caused during fitting
- Movement when you stand on it
- Staining and dullness across the tray
Before booking anyone
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How the colour is matched
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- A tray broken in more than one place
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Stone resin

Before we arrive

Advice
Little Bardfield: your questions answered
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you cover the entire of Essex?
We work UK-wide, so Little Bardfield is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Little Bardfield?

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Repairing versus replacing in Little Bardfield
A new shower tray normally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
